If all of the current administrators have graduated or left the organization, please contact COSO. 

Add an Officer

In your organization:

Dartmouth groups allows officers to manage the different permissions available to each officer.  

• From your group's page select 'Manage' and then select 'Officers'
• Click the Permissions button near the top.
• You will see all officers and the permissions available to them.
• A group member must be listed as an officer in order to modify their permissions.

Your organization page should be updated anytime you make a change to your group. This includes new officers, meeting time, advisor, constitution revision, etc. This is in addition to the annual renewal that is required each fall.

Invite your officers to your organization to begin adding content to your organization. COSO recommends you add the following:

• Files, including your constitution/bylaws, minutes, agendas, old funding proposals, etc.
• Build online forms. 
• Add events and meetings to your organization's calendar.
• Add content like photos and news posts.
• Invite your members. We suggest that you populate your organization's page first so that your members see an established community upon joining, allowing them to get involved quickly and easily. You can invite members to your organization using the invite people button on the roster page.

We also recommend making your ABOUT page the landing page for your group. 

To do this:

• select settings
• click the wrench icon
• Under other settings, select "Make "About" the Landing Group Page"

There are also a number of other settings and preferences you can set for your group.  You can find more information about this here.
